Yun Jianyue sighed deeply. She put the things into her purse and made a bold decision.
She unbuckled the safety belt and got out of the car with her purse. She ran to the restaurant straightaway, leaving her car where it was.
She’d already finished thinking about what would happen. She would go to the restaurant first and join Gu Zhishen. She would then hand the car keys to the waiter and have him drive it over. If the road cleared and the car was taken away by the traffic police, she would then be thick skinned and go to her father for help. It shouldn’t be a big problem. It was definitely better than just sitting in her car and not doing anything.
The most important thing was that she didn’t have a cell phone and couldn’t call him. She was afraid he would get too anxious or worried while waiting.
Yun Jianyue ran to the restaurant and was gasping for breath. She stopped at the entrance, took a deep breath, and controlled her emotions. Under the waiter’s guidance, she was led to the table Gu Zhishen had reserved.
It was a window seat on the second floor. However, it was empty, as Gu Zhishen hadn’t arrived yet.
Yun Jianyue let out an obvious sigh of relief. It turned out he hadn’t arrived. This way, she also couldn’t be considered late.
She gave the car key to the waiter and told him the car plate number. She asked him to go over and help her drive the car over. Of course, the tip she gave was quite considerable.
The waiter took the car key, nodded, and left.
Yun Jianyue sat down in the seat. A waiter came and asked her what she wanted to drink. She wanted a glass of lemonade and drank while she waited.
After an hour, the waiter came back and gave her back the car key. Unfortunately, he told her, the car had already been impounded by the traffic police. If she wanted to get the car back, the owner of the car needed to personally go over.
“Sorry for the trouble. Thank you!” Yun Jianyue took back the car key and couldn’t help but puff her cheeks. She truly was unlucky when coming out.
First, she overslept. Then, she was stuck in a traffic jam and realized she forgot to bring her cell phone. And now, her car was impounded by the traffic police. Half an hour had already passed, but Gu Zhishen still hadn’t come!
If she’d known earlier, she wouldn’t have needed to rush over so anxiously.
She didn’t bring her cell phone, so she had no way of calling Gu Zhishen to find out what was going on!
She placed her chin on the table and dipped her finger in the water in the ashtray. She wrote two words on the clean and smooth table. Gu Zhishen.
Gu Zhishen, are you coming or not!?
“Coming, not coming, not coming, coming…” Yun Jianyue muttered over and over for a long time. The people around her were in threes or twos or were couples having their meals sweetly. She was the only one sitting here stupidly while waiting for someone.
The waiter had already come back to ask three times. She drank four cups of lemonade and went to the restroom three times. She looked at the precise clock hanging on the wall. It was 8:30 at night.
Gu Zhishen was already late by two whole hours.
Every minute and every second that followed was especially torturous and endless for Yun Jianyue. Her heart sank into the biggest dilemma from her birth until now!
On one side was a devil in her heart saying he wouldn’t come and it would be better if she just went home. She shouldn’t stay here like an idiot! On the other side was a pure angel saying he definitely must’ve been delayed by something. She should wait for a while longer. He might have arrived at the door right now.
Different groups of diners came and went until the waiter came over and said, feeling embarrassed, “Miss, it’s already past our dining hours.”
What he meant was that she should be leaving.
Yun Jianyue looked at the time. It was 9:46. It would be 10:00 in another ten or so minutes. Feeling embarrassed, she left some tips and left.
She walked out of the restaurant. When she’d come in the afternoon, the traffic on the street was so jammed that it was hard to even move an inch, but it was now empty. The neon lights flickered. At this moment, it wasn’t bustling and noisy in front of Yun Jianyue’s eyes and, instead, it was indescribable loneliness.
It was obviously he who’d asked her to have dinner. Why did he stand her up?
Could it be he did it intentionally to play with her?
He probably wouldn’t do something so senseless, right?
Yun Jianyue looked at the phone booth beside the road. Her eyes lit up and she thought of something. She immediately went over and took out some change from her purse and called the Yun house.
Auntie Wen picked up the phone.
“Auntie Wen, I was in a rush when I went out in the afternoon and I left my cell phone at home. Can you help me check if anyone called me? I’m worried there might be something at the company.”
On the other side, Auntie Wen asked her to wait. She went to the bedroom and looked at the phone. She came back and said, “There’s a missed call, but there isn’t a name. Do you need me to call back and ask?”
There wasn’t a name?
It wasn’t Gu Zhishen!
“No need, Auntie Wen. I’ll be back home in a while.”
Yun Jianyue hung up the phone, and the disappointment in her heart grew even more. Not only did he stand her up, but he didn’t even give her a single call.
Could it be that something happened?
Yun Jianyue walked to the side of the road and stretched out her hand to stop an empty taxi that almost swept past. She got in the car and said to the driver, “To Bo Lun company.”
There wasn’t anyone in Harbin who didn’t know the Harbin Bo Lun company’s address.
Yun Jianyue didn’t know where she could go to look for him. She felt that it was impossible that he would be in Jia Yuan as he didn’t go to his appointment. He also wouldn’t be in the Clouds Private Room. In that case, the company would be the only place left.
She was worried he’d had something to do at work and wanted to go take a look. She still had the passcard Cheng Yufei gave her. She would go take a look. If he was busy, she would leave immediately. She definitely wouldn’t interrupt his work!
While these random thoughts were going around in her head, the car had already stopped at the road in front of the Bo Lun company’s entrance. Yun Jianyue paid the car fees, opened the door, and just as she was about to get out, she looked out the car window and saw a crowd of people standing by Bo Lun’s entrance.
Xu Shi, Cheng Yufei…and even Gu Zhishen.
A woman stood in front of Gu Zhishen. She wore a long red dress, her long hair trailing over her shoulder. It was very wavy, and it was very sexy.
The woman got into a car first and Gu Zhishen got in the car immediately after.
When Yun Jianyue saw this scene, her hands unconsciously held her purse tightly. She’d even thought something happened to him. It turned out he had a date with a sexy beautiful woman. That’s why he stood her up.
Bastard Gu Zhishen!
Xu Shi and Cheng Yufei also got in the car, and the car left very soon thereafter. The car passed right in front of them, but the people in the car didn’t notice Yun Jianyue sitting in the taxi!
Yun Jianyue looked through two layers of car windows and vaguely saw that woman was about to push up against Gu Zhishen…
An anger was burning in her heart. She wanted to rush over and give them two kicks. They really were an adulterous couple.
“Miss, are you going to get out of the car or not?”
Just as Yun Jianyue’s brain was drawing up all sorts of images of whipping Gu Zhishen and that sexy woman, the driver pulled her back to reality. It felt like she went from heaven to hell in one second.
She could only fantasize about things like torturing Gu Zhishen in her head for fun. She didn’t have the courage to do so in real life.
Under the dim light, her lonely expression told the driver another address.
Yun Jianyue went home straight away. She went through the door and changed her shoes. Yun Xiaotian and Cheng Xiaoxiao were already resting.
Auntie Wen saw she’d come back and walked over to show concern for her. She didn’t hear clearly anything she said and went back to her bedroom, looking weak and dispirited. Her head was filled with images of Gu Zhishen with that woman!
She didn’t see the woman’s facial features clearly. However, her figure was unbelievably good, unlike hers. No matter how she looked at it, she was a small white flower, simple and uninteresting.
It wasn’t just Gu Zhishen. Probably all men would like beautiful women like that, right?
The worn-out Yun Jianyue threw her body onto the big bed and kept rolling nonstop. She was in such a bad mood.
Her head knocked against something hard. She touched it with her hand and took a look. It turned out to be her cell phone. She switched it on and looked. There was only a missed call from an unknown number. There were no calls from him, and there were no messages!
“Bastard! You stood me up and went on a date with an incredibly beautiful woman. You’re simply the world’s biggest bastard!”
Yun Jianyue bit down on her teeth resentfully while changing the saved contact on her phone into “The biggest bastard in the world!”
